Revel vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?
Revel: A high productivity, full-stack web framework for the Go language. Revel makes it easy to build web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern by relying on conventions that require a certain structure in your application. In return, it is very light on configuration and enables an extremely fast development cycle; Trailblazer: A new architecture for Rails. Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.
Revel and Trailblazer belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"Go" is the top reason why over 12 developers like Revel, while over 3 developers mention "Trailblazer allows creating sane, large apps in Rails" as the leading cause for choosing Trailblazer.
Revel and Trailblazer are both open source tools. It seems that Revel with 11.2K GitHub stars and 1.33K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Trailblazer with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 GitHub forks.
